Abstract: In this paper was extended the HV-type mixing rules to Harmens-Knapp cubic equation state (HK CEOS).The new HV-type mixing rule with HK CEOS was tested for Vapor-liquid equilibrium(VLE) of different polar and nonpolar systems.The tested results are in good agreement with existing experimental data within a wide range of temperatures and pressures.In comparison with the VDW mixing rule, the new mixing rule gives much better predictions for the VLE of nonpolar and polar systems.

Key words: Equation of state, Activity coefficient, Vapor-liquid equilibrium, Mixing rule
